Coolify API tokens are team-scoped, and a wrong-team token does not error:
the API resolves what it cannot see to `null` (getResourceByUuid walks
resource → environment → project → team_id and returns null on a mismatch).
To cast, `null` is indistinguishable from "this resource does not exist
yet" — an invitation to create it. So an apply with a token minted under the
wrong team would not fail loudly; it would provision a duplicate set of
resources into the wrong team, against whatever server that team owns.
Silent, mutating, discovered late. That makes this a correctness bug, not
hardening.
- environments.yaml carries a required `team:` per environment (id, name, or
both). Required is the point: an environment with no declared team is one
cast cannot verify it is pointed at.
- Every command that reaches a live Coolify (apply, diff, server add, smoke)
resolves GET /teams/current — the only endpoint that answers "what team
does this token act as?" — and aborts on mismatch before its first READ,
not merely its first write: a wrong-team diff reports "everything is
absent", which is the very lie an apply would then act on.
- server add and smoke take --env for this reason. A server belongs to
exactly one team forever (no pivot, no is_system_wide escape hatch), and
smoke writes env vars onto a live app.
- New read-only `cast team` prints the token's team, so the binding can be
filled in without a chicken-and-egg. With --env it also checks the
binding: the dry run for "would apply refuse?".
Team id 0 is a first-class value, not a falsy absent — it is the Root Team
that a single-admin instance keeps everything in (app/Models/User.php).
Also records the #4 investigation in docs/semantics.md: GithubApp
`is_system_wide` IS the supported way to serve every team — list_github_apps
scopes to `team_id = token's team OR is_system_wide`, and POST /github-apps
accepts the flag — so per-team App duplication is unnecessary. Corollary:
resolving a GitHub App by name is NOT a proxy for being in the right team,
which is the second reason the assert has to be explicit.
